2020-21 Vision Board

Peace’s Vision Board consists of elected members and the Lead Pastor, and maintains the long-range vision for the congregation. The Board ensures that the mission and vision of the church are consistent with the activities of the congregation. The five-year vision and annual budget are based on input from the ministry teams, staff, finance team and the planning boards.

​Recommendations for membership are based upon an active life of service, consistent and positive involvement in ministry at Peace, an appreciation for the whole ministry of Peace, the desire to share time, talent and other resources, and a proven ability to work and serve collaboratively on a team. Nominees are elected to two-year terms with a maximum of two consecutive terms. A vote of affirmation is held once a year, usually in May.

Finance Team

Peace's Finance Team consists of the Treasurer, Finance Manager and Operations Director of Peace as well as several volunteers familiar with business management or accounting/auditing functions. The finance team provides proper business procedures to be routinely followed for all finance/accounting office practices, and provides assistance to parish leadership by maintaining a watch over the monthly financial activities of the church. The finance team reviews financial reports for previous months to offer advisory information to the Vision Board on a routine basis. The finance team is also charged to set the scope and timing of any audit engagement, and will identify and secure the external/internal auditing resources needed to conduct annual reviews of the financial records. This team will communicate with the congregation on a reporting basis as needed. For more information, Contact Pat Rocca, Operations Director.
​Team members:  Jim Holloway, Treasurer; Gary Baptiste, Finance Manager; Rod Chu; Brian Martin; and Pat Rocca, Operations Director.

Stewardship Team

The role of the stewardship team is to set annual stewardship goals in alignment with the congregation’s mission and values. This team works closely with the finance team to understand the status of the present budget and financials, and helps to identify stewardship needs and plan opportunities for education on stewardship activities and fundraising efforts. The group regularly informs the congregation on how its financial gifts are being used, and express appreciation for giving.
Team members: Pastor Doug Warburton, Lead Pastor; Melody Berg; John Gibson; Bonnie Lucas; Jeff Ramm; Ali Razi; and, Vic Wolfe

Endowment Team

Peace's Mission Endowment Fund provides a permanent source of income for specified programs of the church. The Endowment Fund consists of direct and indirect gifts including bequests or trusts naming Peace Lutheran Church Endowment Fund as beneficiary. The fund is governed by a standing Committee including the congregation’s president-elect. More information on the Endowment Fund may be found in Peace’s constitution.
Team members: Lee Hoelscher, President; Kara Shell, Vision Board representative; Alan Hewett; Kevin Jeffers; and Libby Moore.
